Here Are The Guests Expected To Attend Rosalynn Carter's Memorial Service In Atlanta
Former US First Lady Rosalynn Carter, who spend most of her life working on humanitarian projects, died on November 19 at the age of 96. She had entered hospice care two days prior to her death, her family noted. In May, they said she had been diagnosed with dementia.
US presidents and other leaders will travel to Atlanta on Tuesday to attend a private tribute service that’s among several ceremonies planned through Wednesday in honour of Rosalynn Carter. Former President Jimmy Carter, 99, is also expected to attend the Atlanta service.
President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden, former President Bill Clinton and former first ladies Hillary Clinton, Melania Trump and Michelle Obama could be among guests travelling to the capital city of Georgia to bid a final farewell to Rosalynn Carter.
Ceremonies honoring the former first lady began on Monday, with a motorcade travelling from her small hometown of Plains to Atlanta. On the way to the capital city, the motorcade made a few brief stops, including at Georgia Southwestern State University, her alma mater.
On Tuesday, a departure ceremony will take place at the Carter Presidential Centre before the motorcade heads to Glenn Memorial United Methodist Church at Emory University for the private tribute service. The ceremony will feature some of Rosalynn Carter’s favourite songs.
The Atlanta memorial service is private, but members of the public can view the Carter family motorcade as it leaves the Carter Presidential Centre in the morning and the church in the afternoon, according to the Carter family.
Rosalynn Carter was a fierce advocate of mental health reform and destigmatising mental illness. In the days since her death, the former first lady has been remembered as a lifelong humanitarian and a passionate advocate for numerous causes.
The Carters were married for more than 77 years. Side by side, the two worked for decades toward world peace and human rights. They travelled to hot spots around the world, such as Sudan and North Korea, monitoring elections and working to eradicate neglected diseases.
